I have to reach a cluster of linux machines protected by a firewall. The usual way to reach them is to SSH from inside the network, but i need to do it from outside.
I have the credentials and everything, but the cluster belong to a university so the admin is lazy and i need to minimize the requests to him.
My idea was to use a squid proxy that is open to outsiders (there's a ezproxy too).
Here's the ezproxy:

Here's .pac config for two different squid proxy:

As i said I have full credentials to get inside the net, is just that i don't know how to do and that the admin don't have time to help me.

A http proxy cant speak ssh, you need to run the ssh client behind the proxy and you have to speak http/s through the proxy.
So, you think after the proxy you'll have access to the network behind? If so then you're right the admins are lazy, but I don't think so.
And behind the proxy is surely another firewall to prevent access to ssh.
It doesn't matter, first the admins have a reason to prevent access via ssh second after the proxy is surely an ip filter/firewall or whatever to prevent access to private segments and if not there could also be a layer3 router to do the work.
Your only chance I think is to access a ssh client behind the proxy on a webserver (cgi shell or whatever) but it only works if your webserver can reach the cluser and you can reach the webserver or something it speaks http/s.
